Over the last few years, data streaming via content delivery systems has become an integral part of the Internet.  With the growth in data streaming, larger bandwidth is needed, and limits in available bandwidth have caused problems with content delivery. To solve this problem, the available technology utilizes data processing techniques to reduce the data size of a multimedia file and enhance data streaming speeds even in low bandwidth connections. Furthermore, the assets provide for a self executable media player that is transmitted with the compressed multimedia data thereby eliminating the need to install different media players for different multimedia data.

"By 2015 the global market for content distribution services is estimated to be $4.7 billion.(1) Entities involved in online media content delivery, IPTV services, internet services, and mobile TV services should consider acquiring this portfolio," said ICAP Ocean Tomo CEO Dean Becker.

The expected value of this portfolio is $8.5 million+. It can be purchased immediately, in advance of the auction through ICAP Ocean Tomo's Purchase Now feature for $10 million. For more information on the patents available in this lot, contact Dean Becker at [email protected].
